    Default North Korea commits to denuclearization

    If Kim Jong Un follows through, this is fantastic news.

    I guess they're running out of food. They'll get some relief when sanctions are reduced, and then will likely go back to their quest for nukes.

    North Korea has a historical pattern of acting badly and then promising to clean up their act to get something. Repeat.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Remove nukes and nuke making tech 1st. Includes surrendering all uranium to US.
    Inspect by US, not UN to verify to our satisfaction 2nd.
    3rd, provide limited relief, phase to full removal over 10 years.


    No relief 1st, then disarm. We played that game before.

    Exactly. They want something so they say they'll behave. Nothing new and just a cycle they constantly go through.

    They just want tractors. That is all they really need.

    I think the deal has already been done. I think it was done late last year when they let slip if Trump would protect the regime (steak and caviar) they would talk.

    NK's program was funded/supported by external forces and I don't think it was China. It was always unclear how much control those forces had over the Kim family and thus why we were so worried (Clinton not so much, strange huh?). If Kim saw the program actually being used it might have scared the shit out of him and rightfully so.

    Getting to live like a king without having to play WWIII theatre is a damned good deal. I think W tried to make this same deal in 2003 but it was rejected.

    Interesting times. Not sure if this is good thing or if we are narrowly avoiding disaster. If I'm right, Kim's safety is very much in jeopardy as he has betrayed the people who helped him build NK's program.

    I think that we (CIA, NSA, etc.) know where the nuke material and technology came from.

    Why aren't we going after them?
